Re: [DMCForum] damnit to hell (my poor engine)

[Josh Haldeman <jhaldeman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Matt,

Man...you've had no luck with that engine have you?  I'll leave the 
technical advice to those who know what they are talking about...but if 
you end up needing the upper crankcase (god forbid) from the engine you 
bought the lower crankcase off of in PF...let me know.  I do still have it.

Tech session is March 11th-13th at Ken's warehouse.  Trailer the car 
here, and we'll take a look at it if you want!  John McCarthy, (the guy 
with the polished DeLorean) is a whiz with PRV engine stuff and last I 
heard, he was planning on being there.  I'll double check that with Ken.

Let me know what you think,
Josh
